       Chitãozinho & Xororó é uma dupla brasileira de música sertaneja formada pelos irmãos José Lima Sobrinho e Durval de Lima. Chitãozinho & Xororó são recordistas em vendas de discos no Brasil: eles venderam mais de 37 milhões de álbuns e ganharam cinco prêmios Grammy Latino. Eles foram creditados, por abrir espaço para a música sertaneja nas rádios e televisão a partir da década de 1980 e influenciaram diversos artistas do gênero.
       O nome artístico da dupla baseia-se na canção homônima "Chitãozinho e Xororó", originalmente lançada em 1939 pelos compositores Serrinha e Athos Campos. Na música, o cantor diz que vive só e só se alegra quando cantam o inhambuxitã (Crypturellus parvirostris) e o xororó (Crypturellus tataupa). Começaram a carreira bastante jovens, sendo que o primeiro disco oficial foi em 1970, que incluía a canção "Galopeira". Durante os anos 1970, gravaram também os discos "A mais Jovem Dupla Sertaneja" em 1972, "Caminhos de minha Infância" em 1974, "Doce Amada" em 1975 e "A Força Jovem da Música Sertaneja" em 1977. Em 1979, gravaram o disco "60 dias apaixonado", obtendo relativo sucesso. Em 1981, gravaram o disco "Amante Amada", conseguindo atingir a marca de 400 mil cópias vendidas. Mas o reconhecimento do grande público veio em 1982 com a canção "Fio de Cabelo" do disco "Somos apaixonados", que vendeu mais de 1,5 milhão de cópias e abriu as portas das rádios FM's para a música sertaneja. Em 1986, começaram a apresentar aos domingos o programa de TV "Chitãozinho e Xororó Especial" no SBT, no qual cantavam e recebiam convidados.
      No mesmo ano, participaram na TV Globo do especial de Roberto Carlos, cantando junto com o Rei a canção "De Coração Pra Coração".
Lá no alto da montanha
Numa casa bem estranha toda feita de sapé
Parei uma noite o cavalo
Por causa de dois estalos que ouvi lá dentro bater
 
Apeei com muito jeito
Ouvi um gemido perfeito, uma voz cheia de dor
Você, Tereza, descansa
Jurei de fazer vingança por causa do meu amor
 
Pela fresta da janela
Por uma luzinha amarela de um lampião quase apagando
Vi uma cabocla no chão
E um cabra tinha na mão uma arma alumiando
 
Virei o meu cavalo a galope
Risquei de espora e chicote, sangrei a anca do tal
Desci a montanha abaixo
E galopando aquele macho e seu doutor fui chamar
 
Voltemo' lá pra montanha
Naquela casinha estranha eu e mais seu doutor
Topei um cabra assustado
Que chamando nós pro lado a sua história contou
 
Há tempo eu fiz um ranchinho
Pra minha cabocla morar
Pois era ali nosso ninho
Bem longe desse lugar
 
No alto lá da montanha
Perto da luz do luar
Vivi um ano feliz
Sem nunca isso esperar
 
E muito tempo passou
Pensando em ser tão feliz
Mas a Tereza, doutor
Felicidade não quis
 
Pus meu sonho neste olhar
Paguei caro o meu amor
Por causa de outro caboclo
Meu rancho ela abandonou
 
Senti meu sangue ferver
Jurei a Tereza matar
O meu alazão arriei
E ela eu fui procurar
 
Agora já me vinguei
É esse o fim de um amor
Esta cabocla eu matei
É a minha história, doutor.

Turn down the lights
Turn down the bed
Turn down these voices
Inside my head
 
Lay down with me
Tell me no lies
Just hold me close
Don't patronize
Don't patronize me
 
'Cause I can't make you love me
If you don't
You can't make your heart feel
Something that it won't
 
Here in the dark
These final hours
I will lay down my heart
And I feel the power
 
But you won't
No, you won't
And I can't make you love me
If you don't
 
I'll close my eyes
Then I won't see
The love you do not feel
When you're holdin' me
 
Mornin' will come
And I'll do what's right
Just give me 'til then
To give up this fight
And I will give up this fight
 
And I can't make you love me
If you don't
You can't make your heart feel
Something that it won't
 
And here in the dark
In these final hours
I will lay down my heart
I feel the power
 
But you won't
No, you won't
And I can't make you love me
If you don't
 
Ain't no use in you tryin'
It's no good for me baby
Without love
 
All my tears, all these years, everything
I believed in
Baby
Oh, yeah
 
Someone's gonna love me.

Let me tell you now all that's on my mind
For a love like yours is oh so very hard to find
Looked inside myself now I'm very sure
There can only be you for me
I need you more and more...
 
You turned me inside out
And you showed me what life was about
Only you
The only one that stole my heart away
I wanna do all I can just to show you
Make you understand
Only you
The only one that stole my heart away
 
When you're in my arms
When I'm close to you
There's a magic in your touch that just comes shining through
Want you everyday
Want you every night
There can only be you for me
You make it seem so right
Oh, girl
Cause you turned me inside out
 
And you showed me what life was about
Only you
The only one that stole my heart away
Oh, a-a-a-h
Mmmm
In my mind there's no other love
You're the only girl my heart and soul is thinking of
 
Only you only me (only me)
There can never ever be another
That understands the way that I feel inside
Cause you turned me inside out
 
And you showed me what life was about
Only you
The only one that stole my heart away
Yeah you turned me inside out
And you showed me what life was about
Only you
The only one that stole... my heart away
(You stole my heart away)

ELTON JOHN
SONGWRITER: ELTON JOHN & BERNIE TAUPIN
COUNTRY: U. K.
ALBUM: MADMAN ACROSS THE WATER
LABEL: DJM RECORDS
GENRE: POP ROCK
YEAR: 1971
 
        Sir Elton Hercules John(born Reginald Kenneth Dwight; 25 March 1947) is a British singer, pianist and composer. Commonly nicknamed the Rocket Man after his 1972 hit single of the same name, John has led a commercially successful career as a solo artist since the 1970s, having released 31 albums since 1969. Collaborating with lyricist Bernie Taupin since 1967, John is acclaimed by critics and musicians, particularly for his work during the 1970s, and his lasting impact on the music industry. John's music and showmanship have had a significant impact on popular music. His songwriting partnership with Taupin is one of the most successful in history.
         Raised in Pinner, John learned to play piano at an early age, and by 1962 had formed Bluesology, a blues band he was a member of until 1967. He met his longtime musical partner Taupin in 1967, after they both answered an advert for songwriters. For two years, they wrote songs for other artists, and John worked as a session musician for artists. In 1969, John released his debut album Empty Sky. In 1970, he formed the Elton John Band and released his first hit single, "Your Song", which became his first top ten in both the UK and the US. John's critical success was at its peak in the 1970s, when he released a streak of chart-topping albums in the US and UK, which began with Honky Château(1972) and culminated with Rock of the Westies(1975). John continued his success in the 1980s and 1990s, having several hit singles and albums in both decades, and has continued to record new music since then. He has also had success in musical films and theatre, composing music for The Lion King and its stage adaptation, Aida and Billy Elliot the Musical. In 2017, John released the greatest hits album Diamonds, spanning his hits from 1970 to 2016. In 2018, John began his ongoing farewell tour Farewell Yellow Brick Road, which will conclude in 2023. John's autobiography, Me, was published in 2019. That same year, his life and music career was dramatised in the biopic Rocketman. While he did not appear in his own biopic, John has made cameos in other films and television shows.
     Outside of music, John is an HIV/AIDS charity fundraiser, and has been involved in the fight against AIDS since the late 1980s. Following the deaths of Ryan White and Freddie Mercury, John established the Elton John AIDS Foundation in 1992, and a year later he began hosting his annual Foundation Academy Awards Party, which has since become one of the biggest high-profile Oscar parties in the Hollywood film industry. Since its inception, the foundation has raised over £300 million. John owned Watford F.C. from 1976 to 1987 and again from 1997 to 2002, and is an honorary life president of the club.
      John is one of the best-selling artists of all time, having sold over 300 million records worldwide in a six decade career in music. He has more than fifty Top 40 hits in the UK Singles Chart and US Billboard Hot 100, including nine number ones in the UK and US, as well as seven consecutive number-one albums in the US. His 1973 double album Goodbye Yellow Brick Road and his 1974 Greatest Hits compilation album are among the best-selling albums worldwide. His tribute single "Candle in the Wind 1997", a rewritten version of his 1974 single in dedication to Diana, Princess of Wales, sold over 33million copies worldwide and is the best-selling chart single of all time. In 2019, John was ranked by Billboard as the top solo artist in US chart history (third overall), and the top Adult Contemporary artist of all time. In 2021, John became the first solo artist with UK Top 10 singles across six decades.
       Madman Across the Water is the fourth studio album by English musician Elton John, released in 1971 through DJM and Uni Records. The album was his third album to be released in 1971, at which point John had been rising to prominence as a popular music artist. The album contains nine tracks, each composed and performed by John and with lyrics written by songwriting partner Bernie Taupin. Yes band keyboardist Rick Wakeman plays Hammond organ on three songs.
       There were two singles released from Madman Across the Water, "Levon" and "Tiny Dancer". The album was certified gold in February 1972, followed by platinum in March 1993, and 2× platinum in August 1998 by the RIAA. The album was included in Robert Dimery's 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die. On 10 June 2022, the album was reissued as a deluxe edition for its 50th anniversary, featuring 18 unreleased tracks including demos, outtakes and alternate takes, as well as a 40-page book detailing the album's creation with notes from John and Taupin.
Blue-jean baby
L.A. lady
Seamstress for the band
Pretty-eyed
Pirate smile
You'll marry a music man
 
Ballerina
You must've seen her
Dancing in the sand
And now she's in me
Always with me
Tiny dancer in my hand
 
Jesus freaks
Out in the street
Handing tickets out for God
 
Turning back
She just laughs
The boulevard is not that bad
 
Piano man
He makes his stand
In the auditorium
 
Looking on
She sings the songs
The words she knows
The tune she hums
 
But oh, how it feels so real
Lying here, with no one near
Only you and you can hear me
When I say softly, slowly
 
Hold me closer, tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today
 
Hold me closer, tiny dancer
Count the headlights on the highway
Lay me down in sheets of linen
You had a busy day today
